A quadriceps strain occurs when one or more of the four muscles at the front of your thigh are overstretched or torn. This type of injury is common in activities that involve sprinting, jumping, or sudden stops and starts. Physiotherapy is essential in managing a quadriceps strain, focusing on reducing pain, restoring strength, and improving flexibility to support recovery and prevent recurrence.
Physiotherapy is vital for the effective recovery of a quadriceps strain. Our physiotherapists create tailored rehabilitation programs to reduce pain and inflammation, improve muscle flexibility, and rebuild strength. We also focus on functional training to ensure a safe return to sports or daily activities.
